La lectura and Las matemáticas
With our short week we still tried to get in as much learning as possible!
Our weekly objectives were to:
- Read syllables with “a”, create words and sentences with syllable “a” words.
- Write in our journal about our favorite thing to do on a snowy day (we read the classic Snowy Day).
- Use uppercase letters when starting a sentence and when using names.
- Use a period or an exclamation point when needed at the end of a sentence.
- Practice subtraction and addition on the number line.
- Create number families with all numbers up to 10.
History & Geography
In our studies of the presidents of the United States this week we learned about Mount Rushmore. We read our lesson and watched an interesting video about the making of this national monument. Did you know their is a secret room in the Mountain? We had fun finding out all kinds of information. The class then did an art activity to go along with the lesson. This wraps up our unit. Next week we will review and take our assessment.
Our objectives were to:
• understand what a monument is
• describe the making of Mount Rushmore and identify who created it
• identify the Mount Rushmore presidents
• describe Mount Rushmore as a monument
Science
We finished our unit, Seasons and Weather, this week with a lesson on meteorology. Because of our crazy weather the last few days this was a perfect lesson for the week and gave us great examples of how weather predictions are important to our lives. Afterwards the kiddos had fun creating their own weather reports and performing them for the class. On Friday we had some fun weather experiments in jars. We created a snowstorm, clouds, and rain. Next week we
Making it rain!

• identify ways in which weather affects daily routines, such as dress, activities, etc
• understand why weather prediction is important in daily lives
• explain the role of a meteorologist
